So I'm now on prednisone after months of very bad watery bm. My BM is now very good and solid. However with the sudden hardening of the BM I had some discomfort when going to the bathroom. Now I noticed some blood on the toilet paper. There is a very tiny little red fresh blood in the bowl.
Usually this type of thing goes away in a day or so but this hasn't gone in three days. I think I might have some cut or something like. What should I do?

It sounds like it's probably an anal fissure. I get them sometimes, and like you said, usually when I pass a solid/hard stool. It is basically just like a little tiny cut/tear on the anus that can bleed a little bit and might hurt a little bit too. My fissures usually heal on their own after a few days, so hopefully yours will as well. If the bleeding continues for more than a few days, if you notice more blood, if the blood is dark/black or anything like that, then definitely contact your doctor.

One thing I do when this happens is use Miralax (osmotic laxative) to soften my stool a bit so it doesn't just keep re-tearing the same spot every time I go. Otherwise the tear never gets to heal very quickly.
